To define the display type of a label as text, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click the label and select Display Type from the shortcut menu to open the Display Type dialog.
  2. In the Display As box, select Text.
  3. In the Tool Tip field, enter the tip you want to show for the text. Then at server runtime or in HTML results, when you hover the mouse over the text, the tooltip will be displayed.

  5. Upon finishing, click the OK button to close the dialog.
